SUBJECT SOLE SOURCE REBUILD OF AN AMERICAN LAFRANCE QUINT AERIAL TRUCK
FROM AMERICAN LAFRANCE AERIALS FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the sole source rebuild of an American LaFrance Quint aerial truck from American
LaFrance Aerials for the Fire Department at an estimated cost not to exceed $415,000 with
payment due within 30 days of the date of the invoice, with freight included in the unit price, and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
New Equipment Purchase Fund by $415,000 to be obtained through the City's Equipment Note
program approved by the City Council on February 9, 1999, (M&C G-12462) by Ordinance No
13701
DISCUSSION
American LaFrance Quint aerial truck No 2340012 is in need of a manufacturer's rebuild because the
truck has exceeded the normal recommended life span for aerial trucks. The rebuild includes parts and
components of the cab and chassis, paint, drive train, and aerial and water supply systems. The cost of
a rebuilt truck at $415,000, compared to the estimated cost of a new truck of $540,000, results in an
estimated cost avoidance of approximately $125,000 The manufacturer will provide alike-new
warranty
M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods is from
sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that funds for this purchase will be obtained through the City's Equipment
Note program
